File-based replication

File-based replication is like making a copy of your favorite toy to give to your friend so they can play with it too.

Imagine you have a toy car and your friend wants to play with it. You can make a copy of the car by taking a picture or using a 3D printer to create an exact replica. This way, your friend can have their own toy car but it will be exactly the same as yours.

In the same way, file-based replication is used in computers to create an exact copy of a file or data to be sent to another computer or storage device. This way, if something happens to the original file, the copy will still be available and nothing will be lost.

File-based replication is especially useful for large organizations that have a lot of data to manage and protect. By creating copies of important files and data, they can ensure that everything is backed up and secure in case of any unexpected events like a computer crash or cyber-attack.

Overall, file-based replication is like creating a safety net for important data so that it can always be easily and quickly accessed when needed.
